Epic WTF

Based on what though.

The BMI system seems to fall Down for the very tall or very short. Last week we were picking random teams for touch rugby. We went from England v rest-of-world, to tall vs short. Except no one moved. We are definitely not a tall nation.

Waist circumference is a better system. Ideally, visceral fat but for that you need special equipment to measure.
Tl:DR lay off on the pot belly ;)

Have you never seen the ads in the Sunday Times supplements?

feeling very chantilly today...

If it's like the "friend finder" in the Belfast Telegraph I can guess... ;)

Need.

Somebody thought this was a good idea

There's a bus line in Seattle called the south lake Union transit... You can get "ride the SLUT" tshirts...

I love a dirty joke me.

But that is pure purile sexist crap of the worse kind.

hush puppies ^^^ ?

It seems they also had male equivalent posters although they've not received the same coverage. Still stupid but not quite as bad as they could have made it.

Had this land in my inbox this morning. Too good not to share.

Ladies and Gentlemen,

I believe the Earth is persistently invaded by interplanetary and interstellar viruses and microorganisms. They pass through the ozone layer to Earth's atmosphere and drop on only one area on the Earth.
Mad cow virus dropped only in England. Bird flu virus dropped only in Indonesia. Birds can fly, whereas cows cannot. Therefore bird flu did spread everywhere in the world whereas mad cow stayed in England.

I believe also that recent volcano lava attract microorganisms coming from the outer space. The microorganisms might have antibiotic actions. Recent volcanoes have erupted mostly around the Pacific Ocean this year. For lack of money and for my old age, I cannot go to recently erupted volcanoes. If you are interested to go there to serve humanity and to find out if my theory is correct, you might discover antibiotics to diseases such as Ebola and/or others infectious diseases

Yours sincerely,
James Monroe,

P.S. If the International Criminal Court ICC rules that Israeli political and military leaders during July-August 2014 war on Gaza are war criminals, neither the White House nor the Congress can welcome them in the U.S. European governments cannot welcome them in Europe as well. After winning Knesset election, Netanyahu challenges the White House and the European Union. Netanyahu pledges no Palestinian state and to keep building Jewish settlements on the occupied territories.
If Germany repeals the Holocaust denial law, Netanyahu will be unable to form a coalition. Germany will encourage other European countries to take the same action. Peace will be then possible in the Middle East.

Well, that's an interesting scam e-mail... :)

A medical journal is definitely the first place I'd write to in order to express my views on matters like this.

You must get a lot of these? Presumably not with opinions on international politics appended as a postscript, though.

I don't get that many of them, because my journal is relatively new. I think some of the longer established editors get more. This one was just so factually incorrect it was amazing.

Cause antibiotics from outer space can surely cure viral diseases like Ebola...

If there's one thing non-medical people love, it's medical theories of their own devising. Quantum magic is supposed to be one of the most popular kinds, like vibrations curing cancer and AIDS on the subatomic level and so forth. I guess you know that you've arrived when the crackpots turn up.

Middle eastern politics, tho o.O

EXCUSES

I get that kind of stuff every few weeks now - I've even had actual post. It makes me sad.

From students?
